    hi Jharts17 

    try this column

    Column = calculate(min('Table 2'[Manager ID]);
filter('Table 2';
OR(
    SEARCH(CONCATENATE("|";CONCATENATE('Table 2'[Manager ID];"|"));RELATED('Table'[Path]);1;-1)>0;
    OR(
        SEARCH(CONCATENATE("|";'Table 2'[Manager ID]);RELATED('Table'[Path]);1;-1)>0;
        SEARCH(CONCATENATE('Table 2'[Manager ID];"|");RELATED('Table'[Path]);1;-1)>0)
)))

    it finds parental in any way - if its in the start of Path, in the middle or in the finish.

    and dont forget to create relationships

Hey az38 ,

 

I did encounter an issue with this, wondering if you're able to assist.

 

1|20488|4462||4586|24739|4587 ----mapped to manager ID 24739

1|20488|3|5|6|247-----mapped to manager ID 247

 

Both rows return 247.

 

It appears the "search" function is registering 247. What's the easiest way to turn this into an exact search?

try more complex calculated column

Column = calculate(min('Table 2'[Manager ID]);
filter('Table 2';
OR(
    SEARCH(CONCATENATE("|";CONCATENATE('Table 2'[Manager ID];"|"));RELATED('Table'[Path]);1;-1)>0;
    OR(
        SEARCH(CONCATENATE("|";'Table 2'[Manager ID]);RELATED('Table'[Path]);1;-1)=(len(RELATED('Table'[Path]))-len('Table 2'[Manager ID]));
        SEARCH(CONCATENATE('Table 2'[Manager ID];"|");RELATED('Table'[Path]);1;-1)=1)
)))
